DUI/DWI offenders in Nedrow are occasionally given the option to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program in lieu of punishment for their drug or alcohol related criminal offenses. The punishment for these kinds of crimes can often be rather severe, which can include jail time and substantial fines and even significant costs associated with being in the court system for and/or convicted of DUI/DWI. Many times, specifically for new offenders, the court finds that addressing the concerns of alcohol and drug abuse in drug rehab is a better decision in the long term for full handling the problem. For DUI/DWI offenders in Nedrow who are fortunate enough to be allowed to participate in such treatment in lieu of other far more severe penalties, most will remain away from the court system permanently.
